Hey Rebecca,
I know this because I did a herbal course a few years back and I also have
herbal infusions on the go all the time.
My infusions always have seepage and oil over run, no matter how tight you
close the lid.
But - I'm not sure why! Maybe it is because the dried herb expands as it soaks
in the oil and creates a larger mass of herbal material and therefore causes
excess oil?
I've sent off an email to a herbal friend - I will report back.
Cheers
Liz

You've lost me Liz. Why would oil leak out of the jar?
Cheers Rebecca

I would like to do a Organic infused Chamomile oil.
Do I put the dried chamomile into a jar with Sunflower oil and leave for 2
weeks. How much oil would I need?
